Recent Reads #1

Hello!! I hardly ever do these (see also, NEVER DO THESE) so I decided to give it a go!
Here are the books I’ve read recently:

DREAM BOY

I read this on the recommendation of Craig (@fictitious.fox) and I gave this book about 3 stars. It was an interesting read and DEFINITELY different from what I usually read. It was weird but interesting. If you liked Call Me By Your Name, you should pick this one up.

LEAH ON THE OFFBEAT

Y’all, it took me longer than I would’ve liked to finally pick up this book and read it. It was not as good as Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, but then again, nothing can really top that…OR CAN IT? I really loved the love story in this and gave it 4.5 stars.

SWEET FILTHY BOY

If you’re a sucker (like me) for Anna Todd / Colleen Hoover kind of stories, this one is for you. Surprisingly, this isn’t as cliche as the others, but it still has it’s fair share of cliches. I gave this book about 3.5 stars

A COURT OF FROST AND STARLIGHT

AHHHH I didn’t feel like this book was overly necessary? It was still pretty good seeing what all is happening in Velaris for the Winter Solstice, so I would recommend reading during the winter with a cup of hot cocoa. I gave this about 4 stars.

LONG WAY DOWN

This was recommended to me by Lauren (@southern.bookworm) and it was, as she said: “amazing, fast paced and you can read it in one sitting”. I gave this book about 4.75 stars

WHAT WE PRETEND TO BE

A SUUUUUUUPER SHORT STORY THAT YOU CAN FIND HERE: http://rivetedlit.com/2016/08/11/read-what-we-pretend-to-be-a-new-we-are-the-ants-short-story/
It is a ??prequel?? to We Are The Ants. I gave it about 3 stars.

THE STRANGE FASCINATIONS OF NOAH HYPNOTIK

THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD AND I LOVE THE SEEMS LIKE CONTEMPORARY BUT OOPS NOPE YOURE WRONG HUN ITS SOMETHING ELSE. I LOVE LOVE LOVED IT (also, Noah is me. LIKE LITERALLY, WE WERE BORN THE EXACT SAME DAY AND EVERYTHING) I GAVE THIS BOOK 5 STARS

So those are my recent reads! Let me know your thoughts on these if you’ve read them!
